hello, all. 1st post here. as you would probably guess by my id i've got a 99 auto SE limited, pearl - bought new and i'm **** about it. just want to give a "shout out"

 

Can I have your car?

 

Hi, Welcome to the Board! Any Mods to your Maxima? Are you Planning on doing any Mods?

 

well i've been thinking about a 2k model. love the stock 225 HP.

 

as far as mods go. i do have a K&N drop-in (waiste of money). i've been considering strongly making some other mods but i'm just not sure since it's an auto. i've been considering getting either another 4th-gen stick or biting the bullet and getting a 5th gen stick. i've read about a mod i can make to my auto tran - shifts harder and actually lasts longer. keep in mind i drive it to work, earn pay, pay for car.

 

Most all of us are daily Max drivers. Mine is auto and I have started my installs at 60K miles.

I want to ask the same question as speebs, Can I have your car. Limited Editions are nice. If I could have found a Grey limited when I was looking for mine, I would have bought it....

 

aside from the badge, floormats and paint i'm not sure what else is on the limited. I should have bought a stick

Stick w/ an auto. You will be glad you did in that stop-and-go early mourn. traffic. Your right about that mod..It's called A Valve Body Upgrade (VB Mod). Various company's make them.(Level 10 Transmissions, MobileTek.Net) This is the FIRST major engine mod i'm saving up for. From the description and what I hear its a MUST for us auto's...especially fast driving one's.

 

Welcome......


MODS are ADDICTING!!!!!



have fun with it!!!

I appreciate that. I've been checking out this forum for the last few days before I registered and it looked pretty good. You guys seem to know you doodoo about maxima mods and upkeep. Only thing missing is the off-topic section where you can post all your "girly" pics.

The 5sp cars are definitely fun. However, it changes the character of the car completely. I had a 96 Auto which drove and felt like a luxury car that could be driven aggresively if I so chose. Now I have a '97 5sp and it definitely feels more like a sports car and accelerates harder. However, some of the luxury car feeling has been lost with the 5sp, the intake, exhaust, y-pipe as the car runs louder and rougher now.

Enjoy your car! I don't think it's worth the money to go to a 2k+ car with the 222hp. If you take a look at the 0-60 times of the 4th gen and 5th gen, they're almost the same. The gained some weight, and got more of it's power up top, which didn't help the acceleration numbers. However, comparing my friends 2k and my 97, you can definitely see improvement. Just look at the front lower control arms and mounts and you can see how they have been re-engineered. Even the airbox has been changed.

Pic is in a Yahoo page. I will look for a new place to store it....

 

My 99 SE Lmtd has leather. I don't know if that is standard on the Lmtd or not. I also have heated seats. Other than that and the things you said, I don't know.
